live from moscow and ted bradley manning says he leaked confidential data to make the u.s. reconsider its foreign policy it's been revealed in a full o.t. a recording of his testimony in defiance of the military band will bring this out. the custody case of a country suing hollywood reality is a legal action outraged by the oscar winning blockbuster. but the old passes the reigns over to a new generation in china tasked with an economic slowdown corruption and the u.s. military. as britain repels a large and tedious claims over the falkland islands for strong support from residents of another island for the banded abused forced by london to the miles from our.

very good if you just joined us kevin our new center tonight in our top story at ten pm moscow time the world has got to hear the voice of whistle blowing u.s. soldier bradley manning for the first time since his imprisonment in twenty ten in a recording leaked despite a call bonnie explains why he released that classified military data he says he wants the world to see the true cost of war accusing troops of not valuing human life and comparing them to children torturing and so the magnifying glass a lot. more on the case today. he used emotive languages especially as he worked through this over an hour of audiophiles statement to the court describing his feelings we've taken a couple of edited excerpts of that one of them concerns this video from the cockpit of an apache attack helicopter over iraq the two pilots very eager to engage a group of what turned out to be civilians on the ground killing twelve of them

including two reuters journalists men come to try and help close shot in the first burst of firing and the helicopter then engages that van as well let's have a listen to what he said about that does that mean that. it. was the only. way. for. me this is. bradley manning was shocked by what he saw in that video in two thousand and ten he took the decision to upload hundreds of thousands of documents onto the internet that were then released by wiki leaks there's been really strict reporting restrictions and great secrecy surrounding this trial no video no order you know photos and no transcript as well out of that court although one transcript has

already been released from that in contravention of that reporting ban followed by this audiophile least by the freedom of press foundation about the statement he gave a couple of weeks ago i think for many people it will be the first time they will have heard bradley manning's voice and they'll hear a little bit of the man behind all of this controversy perhaps help to make up their mind about him a bit many people in the u.s. do not take kindly to what he is didn't quite frankly consider him a traitor as for him he has said that when seeing videos like. like we saw and seeing many of the things like the cuddly covering up of human rights abuses and civilian casualties he really started to question what the wars in afghanistan and iraq were all about and that helped to push into this decision he tried official whistle blowing through the army he was rebuffed he says and then he decided to go and leak this information as he explains. this.

is was. only. so he should just be said as far as his trial goes at the moment he is has twenty two charges against him he's pleaded guilty to ten of those not guilty to the others some of those others include more serious charges such as aiding the enemy if he is convicted bradley manning could face up to twenty years in prison a correspondent tom reporting there well we've been avoiding you to share your opinion on bradley manning's case intestine r.t. dot com and so i'm a no vote of the day this is what been telling us thank you for you have so far. let's see who is putting out yet again fifty percent half of you cast your vote thank you for the believe bradley manning has become a scapegoat in the u.s. war a whistle blows thirty five percent this think he's a free speech martyr only eight percent think he's just a naive idealist and the minority again seven percent think he's guilty of treason

you can make that change after say that's changed much for the last couple of hours r.t. dot com is the place to be as ever. ok pursue an inner city communities shows its outrage at the shooting dead of a teenager at the hands of officers hoping to stay with his son r.t. as hundreds hit the streets to vent their anger against us police brutality. but next loved. by others the oscar winning drama argos not only drawn the admiration of. fury in iran to the islamic republic is planning a lawsuit against hollywood accusing the movie makers of an unrealistic portrayal of the country. explains exactly what. you won't see such at the oscars every year none other than the u.s. first lady announced the best movie award and ben affleck could not hide his delight at scooping the top statue for our goal not forgetting though to stick

another boot into iran's backside right at the ceremony and we think canada would like our friends in iran living in terrible circumstances right now but while affleck is probably still celebrating his triumph his movie set to be based on a real cia operation sparked fury in iran needless to say argo has been forbidden for screening in the islamic republic but a closed circle of iranian officials and critics watched it and described it as cia propaganda aimed at moring the country's image this episode the storming of the us embassy caused particular fury witnesses of the nine hundred seventy nine events say only students took part whilst affleck chose to portray them as bloodthirsty terrorists holywood just trades on the spirit types and loves it remember borrett such a baron cohen's comedy that depicted kazakhs as uncivilized farmers a comedy for some but kazakhs definitely were not laughing borat was heavily criticised but it never went beyond that this time iran may go one step further

iranian media report that controversial french lawyer is a player is now in tehran preparing an unprecedented lawsuit the islamic republic versus hollywood affleck himself is yet to respond to the accusations but with such strong statement of intent coming from iran soon enough hollywood producers may have to are go defend themselves. independent filmmaker and blogger dunny schecter things are going to last straw that pushed around to take action amid a much deeper conflict. it's troubling again but it's probably get it not so much against iran but aimed at americans to sustain their fear of iran and also what's the most political part of it is also an attack on hollywood which shows how empty the whole hollywood culture is in coming up with this phony movie that the plot is sort of based around you know this is just as yonder a movie with a capital overlay you know tying it into that is

a lot in iran and it basically is is propaganda for the cia more than against iran because iran has been treated one to me and shortly ears going back to the hostage crisis i think this whole battle is really not a battle argo but it's about policy american policy sanctions against iran the hostility between the two countries which just move the country and its forces unfortunately. this is a lot of breaking news for you know take his pictures straight from the vatican next because white smoke has been seen to be coming out of the sistine chapel the bells appealing the. signals and you can hear the crowds many many crowds. cheering signals of course a new pope has been chosen the choice made by more than one hundred cardinals during a full second day of deliberations in the vatican conclave

a two thirds majority is required to elect the next head of the conflict church no name coming out yet we're closely watching those news was for you on top of our correspondents there as well because the need to choose a new leader for the one point two billion catholics around the world the rose of the benedict the sixteenth step down a fortnight ago he cited a lack of mental and physical strength to carry on becoming the first pope and to quit in over six hundred years we'll have more from our europe correspondent in just a while but just to recap the breaking news for you you as. can see the white smoke . and the storage moment above the sistine chapel tonight that indicates along with the peeling of the bells there's no confusion that a new pope has been chosen tonight stay with us we will bring you more details throughout the coming hours but who exactly that is and what it's going to mean for the church as it heads into a new era. also

coming up as well here on our t.v. we got a firsthand account of a journalist who had a narrow escape after being captured by syrian rebels that still ahead for you too . but next syria was a hot topic at a meeting between the foreign ministers of russia in the u.k. and london sergey lavrov as you can counterpart william hague are accompanied by the defense ministers of both countries in the first meeting of its kind known as the two plus two former poly boy. top of the agenda was of course syria and they've all stressed that they want to see a unified and a democratic syria nevertheless it looks as though their approaches to it are completely different in fact britain has already started supplying the syrian opposition with aid in the form of body armor and armored vehicles and we heard yesterday from the prime minister that the u.k. is actually willing to defy an e.u. arms embargo and go it alone and stop providing weapons to the rebels in syria and

now the u.n. has stressed that militarizing the conflict would lead only to further bloodshed and certainly wouldn't put a stop to the crisis germany similarly has concerns about whether or not the rebels should be supplied with more weapons and so so gay lover of speaking the conference today was really stressing the need for dialogue between the two sides he also said that the government the syrian government is ready to talk the opposition has made no such moves and hasn't signaled that they're willing to do so you also mention that anybody who's calling for bashar assad to step down and really demanding that he leaves is actually more interested in that and goldwater than ending the crisis and saving the lives of innocent civilians coming up to the story a worthy of a hollywood blockbuster a journalist told to a hostage by bandits in syria who are demanding fifty million dollar ransom for.

a decade. as a new generation takes over from the old and with china's economy still growing at a prodigious rate all eyes will be set then on the people who lead the country over the next ten years the transfer will see a net total change in china's top leadership with incoming chief paying expected to form a new fifth generation government his priority will be to get the country's economic engines running at full speed after a slight slowdown in recent years by twenty seventeen that sixpack to the china will overtake the u.s. as the world's largest economy and economic rival ribbon. comes amid a battle for influence of nature between the two major sherman told us foreign policy is another issue that the new leadership faces now the obama administration announced a pivot to asia last year which means an increase in military spending on military military resources by the united states being focused in asia so that's very significant and china is really increasing its own military spending its developing its military they have appointed a couple of a few senior diplomats in charge of china's foreign affairs one person who's been

the point person on japan for a long time another person who's very familiar in dealing with the united states so how this will affect. leadership going forward particularly in terms of these territorial disputes china's been very assertive and sometimes even bellicose over the last year when talking about these territorial disputes and they seem to really want to show their strength in terms of talking about these issues it's just increasingly china has the military strength now to back up some of these more bellicose claims and territorial claims and these parts of asia with a new leadership has to be voted on for twelve national people's congress but nobody approved military spending gives a stronger because it's going to be headed according to professor joseph hong kong city university. wolf from the state of buying it funds from the broad to the development of. of the state of the art weapons on its own soul the

research and development budget is expected to grow all rather substantially as new weapon systems are already on the pipeline ready to be deployed given the fact that china aims to become a major power and be you know position to defend its territories and its office overseas interests it will continue to spend that kind of rate of increase without any substantial jumps in military expenditure i suspect in fact the chinese authorities probably understand that the american military spending is very much limited by the fact that. the obama administration has to cut its military budget because of financial difficulties well online. for more analysis of the chinese handover of power on our website is what also is

online for you as well tonight want to take a look at a new low for justice saudi style but we're reporting about a new execution method used to carry out a sentence on seven gang members so online and a man robot is still below the surface of mars finding new evidence to say now that life could be existed there the seed of a new find there every month still there you get up to speed r.t. dot com. yet another night of protest in brooklyn hundreds gathered on the streets to vent their anger after a sixteen year old black boy was killed by police officers claim a teenager pointed a gun at them before they hit him with several rounds some are accusing the police of systematic racism while racial equality act was called dix told us authorities in america got their priorities all wrong. the police whenever they murder or kill a black or latino youth it is always dean justifiable homicide the witnesses tell a different story this happens again and again we should live in

a society where those who are intrusted with public security. or risk their own lives in mordor or injure an innocent person but it's the other way around this is why people are upset and they should be upset people are frustrated people are angry and i am not going to condemn from them for standing up and expressing anger because the real violence in this case begins with the killing of kimani gray the people of the falkland islands made the choice despite argentina's efforts to regain control of the territories they chose to stay british that some luxury the population of another group of islands though in the indian ocean of never been afforded and if that's the sort of first reports next britain's overseas policies are being labelled hypocritical. this is the story of an island a proud and spirited people displaced i think government he put it devastatingly high price paradise soaking in many it will be the first time the stories of the

being in her. memory of the happiness we were leaving to each other and the way we've been treating here we discovered meant that we had to go see is a british colony in the indian nation and the largest of the chaebol silence as a population of a three keys thousand people about the same as the oakland. good memories. it's a home a real paradise today they t. a gay gusty is one of america's biggest military advice is because we it's our land . it's not for them. you know when you see them you got this anger because they are enjoying the island. we are suffering back in the one nine hundred sixty s.

and it is shrouded in secrecy bush cynically to learn the islands to the us but there was a problem the island had for generations been inhabited by the chikezie and people they'd built schools hospitals a whole life and what did the british government they simply pretended none of this existed by fixing the entire population from their homes secrets lies deception dishonesty all the way through it in fact in one thousand nine hundred eighty s. britain went to war protecting the folks and islanders from argentina in training first sums of money and costing precious lives the exact same time it was also using expensive resources preventing the people of the chakan silence from attending the falkland living in the home and they have a choice to stay where they said they wanted to stay under. the rule of the british

or if they wanted to go to the fork. time rules they have a say in who don't have the c. he gave me the impression that there's not just this event a british government is the one like you every now and then you see you here in the news talking about human rights justice social justice and so on but they are the one that money the justice the chico seeing community have been fighting for their right to return to the islands ever since they winning some of their cool cases pushed. government have continually appealed blocking their progress every step of the way how differently that people have been treated there's been a government balloting or knocking on doors on their behalf or asking what they want the h. word comes to my mind age four for how long are you going to punish us for how long we're going to live this life we don't want to be here we

don't want this life we want to go back home. where we belong that's our to send us back or perhaps the least shocking thing about this story is this is simply something that has been decades again this passing justice is being compounded by successive governments right up to the coalition of today he continued to fight against the chuckle since returning to their island and say their stories remain largely consigned to the saturdays and yet you can see him people continue to bravely fight to return to their home for. the good of a business policy just a minute but as you can see breaking news if you were to do about fifty minutes ago we'll take you to rome show where the catholic church has elected a new pope thousands cheering the white smoke was seen coming out of the sistine

chapel within the last half hour one hundred fifteen cardinals made their choice at the end of a second day of deliberations at the vatican conclave a two thirds majority of course is required to elect the next head of the conflict church the hundred fifteen cardinals have been in isolation since tuesday afternoon they held for inconclusive votes before lead to a pope before conclave began there's no clear front runner to replace benedict of course the new man is going to big job he's going to lead the one point two billion catholics around the world the benedict the sixteenth step down becoming the first pontiff to resign if he was in over six hundred years is replacement now than having a difficult task a lot of troubles in the church but that is not what is going to be thought about tonight everyone now wondering who is going to be no name released at the moment but these are the live pictures from vatican city where within the last half hour white smoke and a peal of bells indicates that indeed on the second day of fall voting

dot com. just about twenty eight minutes past the hour here in moscow you're watching business on our t.v. welcome to the program well the global economy on shaky ground the role of the central banks worldwide is changing rapidly that regulators heads on the longer just massaging the interest rates instead they're proactive in solving a wide range of problems in their respective economies bloomberg dubs these regulators the whatever it takes bankers how does a view to the be one of the most likely successor of russia's central bank heads who gave not to fits that bill that's the question i asked barras the editor in chief of business in europe. i think what we expect is that the bank will be a little bit more orientated to encouraging growth in russia and not quite so fixated on the inflation thing as it was before i think nevertheless that will

remain a key concern and so it's kind of a mixed bag i mean given that growth is so slow that maybe that's a good thing it pertains as well to the role central banks in general i mean the russian central bank is mandated to control inflation but other central banks also have a growth component to what this person to russia sense of and looks like it's one of them not to mention a bit more as are most of the central banks around the world is it going to be able to maintain its independent independence considering that maybe when there's very much a part of putin's team how do you think it's going to play out putin is more interested in the big picture in dealing with the large state owned companies with the foreign deals than he is with the ins and outs of monetary policy and do you hike rates by point by a quarter of a percent this month or not and in that sense as well as extremely strong academic she knows stuff and i think she'll be left to.
